Abstract :
Ultrawideband (UWB) has drawn the interest among the research and wireless communication communities due to its configurability and adaptability, which enables it to coexist with many concurrent services. YIG (Yttrium-Iron- Garnet) based signal sources are renowned for their configurability, wideband tunability and ability to generate high spectral purity signal at microwave frequency. However, YIG based signal sources are costly, power hungry, and not suited for fabrication by current integrated circuit (IC) technology. Nor are they immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), vibration effects, microphonics, phase hits, and frequency modulation. This paper discusses the technology of the YIG replacement oscillator (YRO) as a UWB configurable signal source, which is cost effective and easily amenable for integration in IC form.
